Today we joined our buddies in Mrs. Saltzer’s class to teach them all about using the Ozobots. We investigated, explored, and coded using these little robots. Thanks for having us @MrsSaltzer @OwenJRobertsFC

Thanks to Mr. Brewer and Mr. Smith in the S.T.E.A.M room for having us over to learn about Binary Code this afternoon. @OJRsteam @OwenJRobertsFC @Ojrscience

The students were taking some time to explore the Ozobots today in preparation of an Ozobot challenge next week. @OwenJRobertsFC

We loved spending time with our buddy class @LaBarberaFC , even if he is a Mets fan. #ringthebell #whatmakesfcspecial #letsgophillies @OwenJRobertsFC

Today we put the scientific method to the test by simulating the speed of 4 different seed helicopters. The students created a quality, if/then/because hypothesis, discussed different types of variables for the experiment, and collected data. @Ojrscience @OwenJRobertsFC

Today the students used their plans to build their golf ball catching contraptions. We had so much fun throughout the entire STEAM process. We learned a lot along the way for future builds! @OwenJRobertsFC @Ojrscience

The students enjoyed the PTA’s Apex Fun Run fundraiser! @OwenJRobertsFC #whatmakesfcspecial

So much excitement in 5th grade! @Ojrscience @OwenJRobertsFC #whatmakesFCspecial

We take our “flood drills” at French Creek very seriously! Happy April Fools’ Day! #whatmakesfcspecial

Today we continued to explore microscopes by looking at various specimens and sketching what we observe at 40x, 100x, and 400x magnification. @Ojrscience @OwenJRobertsFC

We loved having our special guest, Dr. Lehmann @Ojrscience in to introduce microscopes. @OwenJRobertsFC

When your teacher’s grand prize to celebrate the end of PSSA’s is a pie to the face, the class gets excited! #whatmakesfcspecial @OwenJRobertsFC @ojrea

Today the students used their plans to build their egg drop contraptions. So much fun was had throughout the entire STEM process. In the end we had 5 that lasted all the way through 6 rounds of testing! @Ojrscience @OwenJRobertsFC #whatmakesfcspecial

Today we tested solids with our virtual partners to see how they react when heated. @Ojrscience @OwenJRobertsFC

We’ve adjusted and continue our hands-on science lessons with our virtual partners. Adapting and keeping everyone involved the best that we can while exploring solutions. @OwenJRobertsFC @Ojrscience #whatmakesfcspecial

In a typical year we celebrate the completion of our Figurative Language Menus with an in class feast. That wasn’t possible this year. So, yesterday we had a virtual lunch feast which allowed us to keep this tradition alive. The students had a blast sharing! @OwenJRobertsFC

Cohorts A & E were able to get in on the action today. Everyone had a great time! @OwenJRobertsFC #whatmakesfcspecial

What a fun afternoon!The tradition of 5th grade sledding continues. @OwenJRobertsFC #whatmakesfcspecial

Loved using @WhiteboardFi to help my students as they work remotely on Wednesdays. It allowed me to provide real-time feedback that my students could use while practicing long division with decimals. @OwenJRobertsFC @fletchasketch18
